Some local plants might be edible and even delicious, but they are either way to costly to grow or harvest, or they are nigh impossible to preserve. Or they simply are edible, but not sustaining, like sucking nectar from stinging nettle blossoms.

Some are acquired tastes like e.g. turnip tops. You could probably harvest tons of them, but there is no real market for it.

Or take edible flowers, you basically can’t preserve them, and all you can do is put them on a dish for decoration.

Pearl Onions are a borderline case, for example. Between harvest and sitting in the pickling juice they only have a few hours (3-6, IIRC), or they are a case for the compost heap.

No, I’m not afraid. I’ve been using me-dashes for decades now, and I won’t stop just because some idiots flood the streets with worthless AI junk that happens to copy long-established practices in text formatting.

Who would have thought that such a thing could happen? Apart from anyone knowing enough about computers, I mean?

If push comes to shove, you can still use Notepad++ under Wine. It works.

I use Kate for my editing needs, fast and good regexp work, which is important for me.

I’m angry about all five castings. Same about the casting of an african-american as Heimdall in the MCU - What would be whiter than a nordic god? But using while actors for non-white roles is the vast majority of miscasts.

Autism diagnosis rates. Quite a difference.

What’s in the sandwich?

So this was not an Aeroflot flight? Because Aeroflot had a tiny little network security incident…

Just after a message that stated how AI developed software deleted the main database and lied about it. Really builds trust and confidence into AI-based projects.

The biggest De-Dollarization efforf is done in the White House itself, with their attempt to get the US Treasury under control.

So much about the “We don’t need the ICC, Americans don’t do war crimes”.

We just celebrated 28 years of this development, so 1997. We live here since 2002.

Amazing research. But where to place the clasical clip (two wires in a plastic wrap)?

Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.

If it works around paywalls, it could actually be a useful feature.

I told them to actually solve the equations and think about the results.

At university, I faked a paper on economics (not actually my branch of study, but easily to fake) and put it on the shelf in their library. It was filled with nonsense formulas that, if one took the time and actually solved the equations properly, would all produce the same number as a result: 19920401 (year of publication, April Fools Day). I actually got two requests from people who wanted to use my paper as a basis for their thesis.

Seriously depends on your local water source. Our tap water has more than enough mg, ca, and other mineral ingredients to start making it a pain in the ass (hard water). But it is (of course) drinkable, and tastes quite good.

There are places where they have trees all around their houses. Like in California, where they just had been more fuel to the fires.

Definitely. We lived in an old house without central heating, and I know what hunger is. My father died when I was a kid, after a long sickness, and taking care of him and us kids took a lot out of mum.

Now I can support my family from my income, with both kids at unversity without debts.

Yes, we are better off. But the way to here and now was hard.
